Rome Wasn't Built in A Day .................or even a week...............or month

Rome took a lot more time than that.............

It took approximately 1009,491 days to build Rome, and, with the building practises of the day, a LOT of blood, sweat and tears.

So, if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed or frustrated that you will not get there, or growing your business too slowly and having to eat (and possibly sleep) by your keyboard, spare a thought for the poor slaves who were laying all the bricks - on and on they toiled, until the last brick was laid.

I was stressing that I have nothing to show for being back at WA for over two months now (and been here before a few years ago), when by way of gentle encouragement, I was kindly reminded today that "Rome wasn't built in a Day", but they were laying bricks every day. That was very timely, and gave rise to my first blog! I found myself wondering how long did it take to build Rome, and what methods were used, and visions of toiling slaves came to mind. This, while I was contemplating lunch, stroking my mouse (such hard work).....

Increasingly I had been feeling the pressure of late. I have so much to learn, but how much blood, sweat and tears am I shedding?

How hard is persistence, researching, sharing, friending, liking, promoting, selecting beautiful graphics, writing about things we are passionate about, reviewing, expanding our knowledge, building websites (I will find this out), selling online (no travelling involved), the list goes on and on (until one has to go outside for the occasional breath of fresh air).

I'm not saying it is easy, but there is so much to be happy about, to be excited about. We can build our own empire in our pyjamas if we so choose! A few meters from the refrigerator! A few meters from our bed! Just so long as we remember, just as the bricks had to be laid every day for Rome to rise from the dirt, Rome needed a plan and a driving force.

Have you got a plan, and are you the driving force to build your own empire? Are you "laying bricks" every day? Will you see it to completion? I know I will - we all can, here at WA.
